Decision Sciences Institute National Conference

During a recent Decisions Sciences Institute National Conference, I served as a track chair for the Manufacturing Track. Papers were submitted by 174 authors to this track of the conference with the hopes their papers would be accepted and they would be given the opportunity to present their research to colleagues from around the world at the conference in Las Vegas. The 174 papers were sent to reviewers with the results Following is a key to understanding the codes:

r = reject

t = table topic (a lower level of acceptance)

f = full session presentation

fy = full session and recommended for best paper contest

One of the difficulties of statistical analysis is to figure out how to analyze, interpret, and present the results of your analysis. Take these raw data and develop research questions. Next, using the statistical tools from this chapter, analyze the data. Finally, put the data into a form that will be useful for decision makers. Good luck.
